The Hatsukokoro x Myojin Shirasagi White 2 Left Handed Mioroshi Deba 210mm is a single-bevel fish knife from Myojin Riki Seisakusho in Tosa, commissioned by Hatsukokoro. Forged by Toru Tamura and sharpened by Tateo Myojin, it pairs a White 2 (Shirogami #2) carbon steel core with soft-iron cladding in a nimai construction. The blade has a kasumi finish and measures 212 mm in edge length, 46 mm in heel height, and tapers from 3.9 mm at the heel to 1.8 mm near the tip, weighing 263 g. An octagonal ebony handle completes the build.

This mioroshi deba is shaped for breaking down whole fish and poultry. The left-handed single-bevel grind and thick spine provide the weight and control for these tasks. White 2 steel at 60–64 HRC takes an edge readily on waterstones, while the soft-iron cladding supports the core and eases sharpening. Carbon steel requires immediate drying after use and oiling for extended storage to prevent rust.

The Shirasagi line is named for the little egret, and the uniform kasumi polish across the blade, including the kissaki, reflects the fit and finish from this workshop. A matching saya is available separately.
